The Hamas Movement has said that US president Donald Trump’s speech on Sunday in Saudi Arabia carried a bad message to the region and was intended to divide the Muslim nation.

In a press release on Sunday, Hamas said that Trump ignored in his speech Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians.

“This is a message of aggression that is biased in favor of the Zionist enemy and its gross violations against the Islamic and Christian holy sites,” the Movement stated.

The Movement called on all Arab and Muslim leaders to be vigilant and close ranks to confront what it called “the new invasion and terrorism which the US administration led by Trump wants to impose on the Arab and Islamic regions in order to politically blackmail them.”

Hamas emphasized that the resistance is a legitimate and sacred right to liberate the occupied land and holy sites, condemning Trump for labeling the Movement as one of the terror groups in the region and denying the Palestinian people their right to defend themselves.
